' Application filed July 24.11929, 'jseria no. 380,550.

My invention relates to desk setsfor foun tain pens and the object is to provide a set which permits the penholder or support on the desk set to move in predetermined chan nels.

support which will permitthe use of various invention.

with the supporting funnel for the pen removed. f

Figure 3 is a fragment of a section on line 38, Figure 1. t

Figure 4 is a plan view of.- the plunger. Referring to the drawings, 5 is the base houses near the top of the base a ring 7. The ring has two diametrically opposite holes 8 which receive the bent ends 9 of a staple 10. The ring 7 is secured to the sleeve 6 by indenting a portion of the sleeve in one of the holes 8; any other method of retaining the ring firmly in the sleeve may be used. The

curved part of the staple 10 projects out of the ring and is engaged by the eye 11 of a bar or rod 12 extending from a pen holder support 13.

A plunger 16 fitted into the ring 7 has fiat sides to accommodate the staple 10. The end of the plunger below the ring is provided'with a head 16' on which a seat for a spring 17 is formed. The other end of said spring engages a plug 18 which is threaded into the sleeve 6. Under the action of the spring 17, the upper end of the plunger forces the eye 11 of the bar12 to bear against the curved part of the staple 10.

The bar 12 projects through one of the slots 1 1 of a cover '15 which in the present instance is shown to be the segment of a sphere, which has a flange 15' by means of which it can be secured to the base or to the sleeve asthe case may be, as shown, it is threaded to the sleeve 6. The projecting end of the bar 12 is anchored to a pen holder support which is support 13in two vertical'planes above the base, and in any position insaid'planes above in the shape of a funnel 13. Thelower end of the sleeve 6 is threaded to receive a nut V f;l9 for which a proper recess'is provided in the baseand whereby the entire mechanism in properirelation may be locked in the base. A further object of the inventionis to pro 2 vide a set with a mechanism for the pen holder Theengagement of the staplejwith the eye permits the funnel to swing in the plane of the staple and also in. the plane of the eye whichjareat right angles to one another. In

consequence, the slots14= are also disposed at right angles to one anotherfand when the deviceisset in position, one'oftheislots 14 of g V V l the cover 15 is'set in the plane of the staple. Figure 2 is a plan View of the mechanism 7 This permits 'themovement of the pen holder the base dueto-the frictional engagement betwe'en'the' eye and the staple under the action 10f the spring. j I in cases where it is desirable to havea cover which is'disk shaped or of" angular shape, such for example as pyramidica'l, prismatical ora-frusto-conic'al shape, the length of, theibar 12 between the eye 11 and the'funnel is proportionally adjusted to pass the angular points of the cover. I

For it is'apparent'from the description and drawing that the only other function outside of forming a cover is to guide the pen holder support as it swings on the staple. I

It will be noted that the staple cannot r0,- tate, and once the device is set into the base, the relation between the cover and the mechanism proper cannot be disturbed by the motion of the funnel.

I claim:

1.. A pen desk set comprising a base, a sleeve in the base, a ring in the sleeve fixed thereto, a staple fixed in the ring, a bar having an eye engaging the staple, a plunger in the 99 ring engaging the staple, a plug closingthe lower end of the sleeve, a spring between the plug and plunger for maintaining the eye of the bar against the staple, a cover over the top m of the sleeve having slots for guiding the swinging movement of the bar on the staple .and a pen holder support secured to the bar.

I member maintaining a frictional engagement between the eye and staple, and a cover over the staple on the base having guiding slots for the pen holder support. j
